Malware dubbed XBash combines botnet, ransomware, and coin-mining. Malware developed by popular crime gang Iron Group is behind this malicious code. Xbash malware was developed with scanning capabilities that it used to search for vulnerable servers online. It would look for unpatched web applications that are vulnerable to known exploits or to brute force attack. The malware can infect Windows systems, only after the compromise of a vulnerable Redis server. The Xbash part will erase databases and drops a ransom of $125 ($125) to recuperate them.”]
